Have you had the opportunity to shop at the Devine Food Pantry Thrift Shoppe yet?
We are located at 309 North Teel, in the same building as the food pantry. Our Door is behind the loading dock area.
This Saturday, October 19th, during the city wide yard sale, we will be having a parking lot sale. Make sure you stop by and check out the good deals.
All clothes will fill up a bag for a dollar. That is an HEB size bag for $1.
They will also have some tools, new baskets, wreaths & mugs, along with Christmas items set out.
While these things are offered in the parking lot – wonderful new costume jewelry rings will be on sale inside the Thrift Shoppe.
These rings are still in their store package and would make nice gifts. Or just buy a few to wear yourself. The prices will be low – $2 each or 3 for $5. A nice ring at a great value.
So, as you make your city wide garage sale day plans, please include a stop by the Devine Food Pantry Thrift Shoppe.
If you are not able to make the Saturday sale we are open every day except Wednesday & Sunday from 9 to 2. We hope to see you soon.
